Usually when you get that message Google have blocked access to the account from non web browsers because they have some sort of message for you to read.
I must ask what you think Thunderbird is going to get if all the mail is forwarded to another account. Does gmail even keep a copy?
Are you using two factor authentication? have you created an app password?
